I don't understand how people who logged in after I did (12:00:12) got their tickets already? I'm still waiting for them to check tickets, I've had no errors, just pure waiting. If I refresh will I lose my spot if I stay on the same browser?

dont quote me on this but im am 98% sure it read if you click refresh you place wont be lost. i don't know how it does it but im sure that's what it said. i had similar worries and just watch the ip numbers for a few min to make sure it was changing

I'm passed the que page. It looks like this now, without an IP Address. Still waiting...I'm gonna do it soon unless somebody says otherwise.

jscott26 - offhand, I'm not sure. You would think there'd be some kind of load balancing going on, so that even if one of the many servers involved stalled out, it would re-route the traffic. I'm not sure what to tell you - refreshing could cause you to lose your place, though others are reporting that they've done that and things worked out for them.

I got the following message when waiting after 3 hours. At this time Burning Man Tickets does not have any tickets available for purchase for this event. Note: This does not mean this event is sold out. Contact the venue to purchase tickets. I opened another tab on my browser and got back in the queue.

Holy crap that is terrifying to hear! My mom keeps freaking out that we got in the queue at the same time (within 1 minute of it opening) and I got my tickets and hour ago but she is still in queue. I keep telling her not to worry and there's no way they'll sell out today.. but wow that got me nervous.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've been waiting since the start! That's 3 hours and 40 minutes. I'm in Ireland so it's 11.40pm now and I need to go to bed. Very disappointed with this system

Still telling me I'm in the queue after 3hrs 51 min. We'll see.
So how many years has inticketing been at this?
Could we not at least know our standing in the queue? Or an approximate wait time so those of who are
working would not have to be constantly re-checking.
One of our party got through after about 30 min. Put in her credit card data and "finished" the transaction, then
got a message screen from inticketing saying that
"your session has expired. Please try again."
Really?
She has been back in the queue since.
I'll let you know if tickets come through.
